We didn't know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market or something. All of a sudden, the pollen's voice came over in a loudspeaker. He said, \first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90.” Turns out, the policeman had told Tim that the only way he was getting out of the ticket was if he sang part of one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car.

Collections were the inspiration(灵感) for a project at Thomas Tallis School, which formed part of the Imagine Children's Literature Festival last autumn. Each child (aged 12-13) beatified a box and wrote a story on the subject of collections to throw inside it. The boxes were spread within the Royal Festival Hall's Ballroom. Some were left empty to encourage
The subject chosen by Luren was an imaginative one. \灰姑娘) story,\these become love letters, burned by a creel stepmother. Lauren's best friend Charlotte is the stepmother. \in Charlotte's story too,\says Lauren, \I get run over.\Charlotte's tale was inspired by the girls' coin collection. \for years – since our families went on holiday to Tenerife.\she explains. \was before the Euro, so we put pesetas in.\get it and get run over. I'm in hospital and then I die.\die. I haven't decided yet.\
Millie Murray, who is a tea-novel author, thinks that setting the subject of collections was a useful inspiration to their creativity rather than a restriction(限制). \the beginning I thought, 'Will the children be able to do it?'\she says. \it's been fruitful. Some have their own collection, some have parents who do, and some have wlstten complete stories. It's made them think about something they wouldn't have

Paula Radcliffe, chasing (角逐) a third London marathon title(冠军), says she has became a stronger person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Gaines.
Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: \made me a stronger person and it made me care less about criticism (批评)\
\the people around me.\
She didn't care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McCulgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.
\really eared for me, I'm sure she would have contacted (联系) me.\
Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens.
\ Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday's race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.
However, RadcIiffe has not ruled out(排除) m the future chasing her \record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times.
\don't think that -- although I can't put a number on it,\said. RadcLiffe. \

From Mr. Ward Hoffman.
Sir, I was halfway through Professor Raj Persaud's article “What's the tipping point\ (Financial Times Weekend, April 9-l0) when it occurred to me that what I was reading was not ironic(讽刺的). If Prof Persaud wants to know why Americans tip in restaurants, he need only ask the first American he meets in London.
Americans tip in restarts for one reason, and one reason only: we tip to supplement (补贴) the salary of restaurant workers. Quality of service does not enter into it, beyond the fact that one may tip a bit less for poor service, or a little more for good service.
Not tipping at all in a non-fast-food restaurant is not a choice. In the US, one used to tip about 15 per cent for dining in a family-style restaurant or in an up-market (高档的)

restaurant. Here, in San Francisco Bay area restaurants, we me encouraged to tip 20 per cent or more, to help restart workers live in this very expensive area.
After eating at an Italian restart in my city, I left a tip of 20 per cent on the non-tax part of our dinner bill. It was expected. There is nothing more complicated (复杂的) than that about Americas tipping in restaurants.

From Mr. Philip McBride Johnson.
Sir, I agree with most of Raj Persaud's opinion about the doubtful value of tipping, but with one exception(例外). Tips can be very useful when one is a repeat customer or diner.
It is only when the tipper is a stranger and likely to remain so that the system does not work to his or her advantage. But frequent a hotel or a restaurant, always tip a bit more, and the difference in service and treatment will ha easily felt.
Phfiip McBnde Johnson, Great Falls, VA 22066, US

blocks the sun.
A wall of windows at a University of Pennsylvania engineering budding has built-in blinds (百页窗) controlled by a computer program that follows the sun's path. Buildings are getting smarter -- and the next generation of building materials expected to do even more.
Windows could catch the sun's energy to heat water. Sensors that measure the carbon dioxide breathed out by people in a mom could determine whether the air conditioning needs to be turned up.
Many new materials and technology have been designed in the last 15 years. They now being used in a wave of buildings designed to save as much energy as possible. They include old ideas, like \roofs,\where a belt of plants on a roof helps the building keep heat in winter and stay cool in summer, and new ideas, like special coating for windows that lets light in, but keeps heat out.
As technologies such as sensors become cheaper, their uses spread.
The elevators (电梯) at Seven World Trade Center, which is under construction in New York, use a system that groups people traveling to nearby floor into the same elevator, thus saving elevator stops. People who work in the building will enter it by swiping (刷) ID cards that will tell the elevators their floor; readouts will then tell them which elevator to use. The building also has windows with a coating that blocks heal while letting in light.
More new building materials and technology are in development. A Philadelphia building farm is now working on \sun's energy and transmitters (传感器) the width of a human hair to move it. They are expected to change the face of the construction industry in the next ten years or so. 72. __ will be developed and used in the construcction industry. A. \ B. \ C. Sunlight-measuring sensors that control lights
D. Window coating that lets light in, but keeps heat out [B] 73. The elevators at Seven World Trade Center are special because they can ___ A. send people to floors with fewer stops B. teach people how to use their ID cards C. make people stay very cool in summer D. help people go traveling in the building [A] 74. The underlined word \ A. a human being B. smart wrap
C. the sun's energy D. a transmitter [C] 75. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
